Fantastic musical work from the early eighties! What I call the Greaties! Can't take my eyes off of you, Boys Town Gang! Well Done! You're just too good to be true! I remember this from 1982! They played it on a cassette player on the minibus that served as my school bus.Ah! Such nice memories! And I thank God I'm alive!

[@djhutcherson6761]

I love that they were still using strings and horns in 1982...those instruments seemed to have disappeared completely from disco music by 1980.

[@MellowCorn-xs8bn]

DJ Hutcherson This song sounds straight out 1979, the horns and strings stuck around until until around 1981 for the most part

[@RFinSSMD]

​@@MellowCorn-xs8bn I think DJ Hutcherson's comment was fairly accurate re: the timing. There were exceptions of course, but by and large, at least here in the US, there was a notable retraction away from orchestras, strings and horns in 1980. Europe was different. On Wikipedia, I read some excellent discussion (with sources cited and links for readers to follow) about that rather abrupt transition, along with the rise of the many subgenres of dance music that developed post-disco. It's an excellent read (link to follow). By 1981, projects like Boys Town Band were ignored by American radio and tended to be played only by DJ's in big city discos and gay clubs. There remained a gay audience, buying those records, but the numbers paled in comparison to 1978 or 1979. By contrast, audiences in the UK remained more receptive to disco's orchestration and four-on-the-floor well into the early-mid 80's, but I digress. I think the popularity of the Village People provides a clear snapshot of the disco 'crash' of 1980. From Wikipedia: "The group's fame peaked in 1979 with a three-month North American tour, several appearances on The Merv Griffin Show and American Bandstand, and performing with Bob Hope to entertain U.S. troops. They were also featured on the cover of Rolling Stone, Vol. 289, April 19, 1979. Willis left the group in August 1979, during production of the upcoming musical movie tentatively titled Discoland: Where the Music Never Ends. He was replaced by Ray Simpson, the brother of Valerie Simpson (of Ashford & Simpson) who had previously sung background vocals with the group on their 1979 tour. The end of 1979 saw the release of Live and Sleazy, a double album featuring Victor Willis on lead vocals on the “Live” disc and Simpson's debut with the group on the "Sleazy" disc. 1980-1985 In June 1980 the feature film now retitled Can't Stop the Music was released. The film was directed by Nancy Walker, written by Allan Carr and Bronte Woodard, music and lyrics by Jacques Morali (except Willis who penned the lyrics to "Milkshake" and "Magic Night") and starring Steve Guttenberg, Valerie Perrine, Jean-Claude Billmaer, and Bruce (Caitlyn) Jenner. By the time it was released disco's popularity had waned. At the March 1981 Golden Raspberry Awards, the movie was named Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay, and was nominated in almost all the other categories. Although the title song became a club play chart success and moderate radio hit, it was nominated for Worst Original Song "Razzie" and did not live up to sales expectations, never obtaining gold status as a single or album.[11] Here's a link to the Wikipedia page about disco. Folks who loved/still love that genre will likely enjoy reading through its evolution. They touch on issues such as "relabeling" (getting away from the word disco), the splintering into subgenres that tailored to specific scenes and audiences (early house, for example) and the few notable exceptions, where 1980's stars had 'disco' songs that were undeniably popular. I think it's a good read. Enjoy! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco

[@HipixOFFICIAL]

Indeed. At least in the USA. I have some French Disco records from 1983 that use the horns and strings in them. I love it. It gives it that spacey, loung feel from the 50s over a dance beat.

[@snsnshhhs663]

Listen to “Kelly” by Kelly Groucutt. Recorded in ‘81, released in early ‘82. It has plenty of strings in it.
